to be the rigid ideologue that he is. why would america expect anything other than than an extreme justice? would you want the republicans, if he appoints a radical left winger to oppose -- >> absolutely we will be engaged very closely, very effectively in this debate. this is an opportunity to change the direction of the court. i know a lot of folks want to lay this off, you are going to replace a liberal with a liberal that is not the idea this is the difference between a court that is going to focus on the rule of law and working that way or activist court that is going to try to legislate from the bench. the rnc will be prepared to fight any effort to put a left leaning activist judge on this court. >> sean: i think the crowd is happy about that.

. harry reid said, we have transformed america forever. is he right? >> well, as i say, there are going to be a lot -- there has to be attempts to undo a lot of that transformation. we were warned by candidate obama. we shouldn't be surprised. we were days away if the campaign from fundamentally transforming this country. this country that so many of us love and do not want to see transformed. steps toward insolvency, socialism. there will be a lot of attempts to undo this. >> sean: is this about western european socialism, is this an appeasement mentality the president has adopted? >> sure it is. this is the most radical president, radical speaker and senate leader we have seen in the history of the country. the american people are out-of-pocket rejecting everything they are putting forward.

, this is going to -- i think that's what you are seeing in the streets of america today, we are trying to keep up with this runaway spending and we can never do that there's not enough rich people out there not even enough middle income people to keep up with it. >> sean: we start confiscating 70 to 91% we are still overspending in terms of what the government is spending. i've tried to make a case for a long time i think this was just find. they released the president and vice president's tax returns today.ç i'll give the president some credit, which might surprise some people. he gave away the nobel prize which he didn't deserve. he makes 5 1/2 million dollars about 6% of what makes he gave over to charity, fair enough. i make the case that liberals are only generous with other peopl[#íovjjáty how does joe biden get away with only giving away $48920 to charity? that doesn't seem impressive. >> i don't know. i don't mind so much what joe does with his own money as whp he does with mine. >> sean: that's a good line. >> people ought to give to charity, you know however they feel. some people g

of -- piece of history. check it out. auction ends friday. good night, america america. >> how long do his advisors think it will take to help president obama's policies to help job seekers get back into the ball game? is president hamid karzai threatening to join the taliban and a major outbreak of violence rocks the baghdad region. this is "special report". >> good evening, this is a fox news alert. there has been an explosion in a mine in raleigh county, west va vachl a state official says there are six people dod daed and 21 unaccounted for. it happened at the upper big branch mine about 30 min miles south of charleston. the mine crews are headed to the scene. we'll monitor developments and have updates as warranted. president obama today took part in two very traditional activities, hosting annual white house easter egg roll and throwing out first pitch of the new baseball season. but there to is more on his mind than just fun and games. senior white house correspondent major jarret reports the president has his eye on the economic playing field. >> reporter: it's a strange met

opinion. this gets back to this anger in america concept that seems so prevalent now. you've got to ask, why was goldman creating these securities and puts people in a position to have to defend them after the fact. i don't think that's necessary hi fair to goldman sachs to have to put them in that position. they believed they were helping their clients, but it just didn't look good. >> well, not only doesn't look good, but makes people feel that this is the smoking gun. accurately or not, people feel that tells you everything you need to know about the way wall street is operating. this is what lloyd blankfein had to say -- there's reporting today "the new york times" that in fact, the investigators are now looking at how high up this actually went and whether all the way up to the ceo there were people involved, top executives at goldman who signed off on what this one man was doing. >> but if i understand what we've heard so far about the core of goldman's defense, it won't have to do with who in the firm knew about it, but the merits of the case. whether that was a material fact tha

in america. officers being assaulted. officer involved shootings, carjackings home invasions in the absence of federal action our state now taking action. it is welcomed action and step by us who serve in law enforcement. >> greta: we could go back well beyond former president clinton when he was in office and find federal lead said we've got to secure our borders. i take it do you not think our government is going to secure the borders? have you given up or not? >> not at all. what chief is a lack of uniformity here even locally. we've had an evolution, if you will, in local leaders even in law enforcement, where we've always bought into this idea that that i is a federal problem. we can no longer afford to ignore that crime in my county where we have a third of our population is hispanic, latino, i have 200 of my taff that are, we are going to apply this new law without profiling anyone. last month get we had -- >> greta: go ahead sorry to interrupt. >> raft last month we had 64 pursuits in one of our patrol regions. a vehicle fails to yield for our lights going on and sirens blaring, the

to america? you know, it's going to take hard enforcement. it's going to take tough security, and it's going to have to take an amnesty program that streamlines the process. i have to share this with you. pie wife and i this winter, we purchased a canadian fishing lodge because, well, i'm addicted to fishing. i just love it, you know. and this has been a real education for us trying to do business in another country. now, i am convinced -- i have nothing against the canadians, they are wonderful people, but, folks, we're supposed to get along. and we treat each other -- the canadians and the united states treat each other like we're criminals. we do. i foe -- i'm starting to feel how the mexican folks right now and there's so much red tape and there are so many hoops you have to jump through, it's almost easier to do it illegally. i know why they're coming across the border because there's just so much stuff you got to do to work with america, there's so much stuff you got to do with work with canadians. can't we have some international summit or should we say a summit of countries in this h

obama is bringing to the america. this is what is at stake in november. all of this information and much more can be found in part one of a new book 2010 take back america a battle plan the stakes, targets, strategy and what you can do. joining me is the author of this new book the one and only dick morris. welcome to hannity. >> the elbow bump. >> sean: i have a bit of a strained voice. >> meaning not shaking. >> sean: first of all, i love the book. >> thank you. >> sean: i love it. you get into some great detail here. great strategies. i want to start at the beginning this is important, you got to make the case. barack obama is ruining america. he's destroying everything that makes us great. two stories on drudge. white house science czar u.s. cannot expect to be number one in science and technology forever. another picture of the president bowing before another world leader. saying in another piece, that you know, talking about america, he was comparing us to you know a third world dictatorship, for crying out loud. >> in your text segment, you talk about the -- in your tax segment, y

new york, good night, from new york, good night, america. captioned by closed captioning services, inc >> bret: next on "special report," president obama pokes fun at tea partiers as they rail against taxes and big-government. is value-added tax viable option in u.s.? what are the prospects here and how is it working overseas? a federal judge rules national day of prayer unconstitutional. now what? live from our studio in washington, this is "special report." good evening, i'm bret baier. president obama found another way to provoke the ire of the country's newest political force. the president made a comment thursday night about tea partiers. and well, it didn't sit too well with many of them. senior white house correspondent major garrett has the story. >> reporter: well, the tea party rally blared on the national mall, president obama told a democratic party fundraiser he found the nationwide eruption of tax day angst funny. >> i've been amused in the last couple of days where people are having these rallies. about taxes. taxes. you would think they would be saying thank you. >> rep

by closed captioning s. >>> america seating over a new to combat illegal immigration in arizona protests resulted in vandalism, violence and arrest. the measure signed by the governor is intended to combat 460,000 illegals living in arizona. pro illegal immigration rallies have consumed the streets of phoenix fueled by headlines around the country that has call the bill shameful, likening apartied. 0 s problem forgot to read the bill. it is the criticism of the thank you is over-the-top not the law. protesters sat down to read the law they would find racial profile something prohibited in fact, prove of -- proof of citizenship can only be requested by authorities during lawful contact by police. meaning the individual is already suspected of breaking the law. the left don't want you to know that. joining me with reaction former alaskan governor sarah palin. your reaction first to the law and the reaction by the left? >> thankfully, byron york hit the nail on the head summarizing what the law is about. there is no ability or opportunity in there for the racial profiling. shame on the lame

think in 2010 america to call someone a racist is probably one of the worst things that you possibly can do. so either they need to have some very strong proof of racial motivation or this is an irresponsible insult that's actually slander. i think it's beyond calling wolf now on this issue. either you have proof or you don't. i was there sean in washington, d.c., 30,000 freedom-loving patriots showed up because they didn't like the health care bill. they were -- there were doctors, internists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, business owners, judges, 75-year-old apolitical women. these people weren't there for any form of racial motivation. they don't like redistribution of wealth. that's what this is about. today if you oppose redistribution of wealth apparently, in some people's eyes you are racist. >> sean: i released a book tuesday the subtitle, defeating obama's radical agenda. a reporter is interviewing me, asking me are you inciting violence somehow against democratic officials? i'm thinking, no, i'mz0ñ saying at the ballot box we want to defeat the president's agenda. interestingly

nuke terrorist icon also looks like this and this and even this. coincidence? wake up, america. >> the pigly wiggly, i new it. thank you. appreciate it that. "hardball" is next. good night. >>> tea time. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. leading off tonight, tea for who? what are the tea party people up to? good question. they rallied in boston today home of the original party and sarah palin got the crowd going by saying she doesn't mean to say president obama's downright un-american, just his policies are. richard nixon was good at this sort of thing. there are those who say the supreme court is communist. i wouldn't say that. she's playing the same old trick like saying it's time to reload but i'm not talking about guns. keep throwing out the red meat but denying she's got her brand on it. what are these tea party leaders up to? that's our top story tonight. >>> perfect timing. bill maher is with us tonight. he's got things to say about ex-governor palin and her unmerry cotillon of tea timers. plus are, republicans pretending to prote

is getting under the skin of liberal america. >> you would think they would be saying thank you. [ laughter ] >> bill: we'll show you the latest in a growing civil war. >> there is a growing movement sweeping across this nation and you are it! you are it. >> bill: sarah palin target number one when it comes to tea party personalities, now a latino magazine publisher is hammering her. >> after 9/11 we pretty much dropped that race stuff, did we not? we were pretty much all americans there, right? [boos] >> bill: why was i booed at a conference sponsored by al sharpton? we will show you what happened. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ >> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the tea party getting under the skin of the liberal establishment. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. according to a recent rasmussen poll 24% of americans now identify with the tea party movement. that's up 8 points in just one month. what is driving the tea party is fear that president obama is changing traditional america, that th

in north america and not an asian story as it was north america. and dupont yesterday notably raised their guidance. trish, back to you. >> yes, they did. thank you, bob pisani. >>> well, the stocks tacked on more gains after the fed announced it would kitsch raeep unchanged, but how long should the fed spur along here? what is ahead for your money? we will get more from david kelley, chief market strategist at jpmorgan funds, and then we also have michael yoshikami, president and chief investment strategist at ycm wealth investment strategies. so, i will begin with you, mr. kelley, what is your take on the european debt situation and how much of a problem for the u.s. markets? you saw not a big reaction on spain today, but you had greece and portugal cut yesterday, and we did see a bit of a sell-off. what is your take as we move forward? >> well, it is really a threat. i mean, what i worry about is the politics here. the reality is that greece is too big to fail. and, you know, i think that the reason we did not sell-off after spain is that people realized that the gains are almost

advisers. >> sean: basically when he was telling america, using the fear tactics that we faced a disaster, catastrophe unless we passed the stimulus, they basically what you are saying and this report is saying they said anything they needed to say to get the stimulus passed. is that the same on health care? is that the same on cap and tax? can we trust they are being honest with us? >> they came to the hill and said if you don't pass this stimulus unemployment is going to go way up pass 8%. you pass the stimulus it will stop unemployment from going beyond 8%. it went up to 10% and beyond we lost four millions jobs this is the reason why not a single republican voted for this, if borrowing and spending a trillion dollars which is what this adds up to, was a secret to prosperity and job creation we wouldn't have job problems, we would have full employment. we are borrowing and spending more than we have in the history of our country is an economic agenda not based on good economic policy it was about satisfying spent up spending demand that these people had in congress -- >> sean: presiden

hours. what a waste. thank you. >>> coming up, can america truly maximize its future to grow under the current tax system and future tax threat? i'm going to ask house members paul ryan and billy pascal when we come back. a senior at william and mary has the story better than all of us combined. let's just scrap the code and start over. gecko: uh, you wanted to see me sir? boss: come on in, i had some other things you can tell people about geico - great claims service and a 97% customer satisfaction rate. show people really trust us. gecko: yeah right, that makes sense. boss: trust is key when talking about geico. you gotta feel it. why don't you and i practice that with a little exercise where i fall backwards and you catch me. gecko: uh no sir, honestly... uh...i don't think...uh... boss: no, no. we can do this. gecko: oh dear. vo: geico. fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. >>> there you see. that's the new york city tea party gathering. their rally is going on. don't know who is speaking. we'll talk to lou dobbs later in the program because he will be sp

remember energy in america is security for america. so yeah, let's drill baby drill. nnd stall baby stall! [ cheering ] >> you betcha! all of this make us more beholding to foreign countries, less secure it makes us less free. i'm not calling anyone unamerican. but the unintended consequences of these action the results are unamerican. [ cheering ] >> is that what barack obama meant when he promised the nation they would fundamentally transform america? he warned us with the playbook is -- is this what their change is all about? i want to tell them, nah, we'll keep clinging to our constitution and guns and religion and you can keep the [ cheering ] the voters are coming! now we've all learned a lot of lessons in this last year. i don't want anybody to feel bad if they supported some of those on left in the last election.ç we had a complicit media that did not do its job completely. some tried, but some did not! >> greta: s are planned from coast-to-coast tomorrow on tax day on the record we'll have them covered. this time of year most americans look at individual and family budgets. are

, america. >> chris: next on "special report." president obama gets another chance to shape the supreme court, with the retirement of justice john paul stevens. one of the key congressional players in healthcare reform says he won't run again. and sarah palin fires up republicans at a convention in new orleans. live from our studio in washington, this is "special report." good evening. i'm chris wallace in for bret baier. the oldest justice on the u.s. supreme court says it is time to step down. he sent his resignation letter today to president obama. we have fox team coverage. brian wilson looked at the politics of putting a new justice on the court but we begin with james rosen at the white house on today's announcement. >> leadership will be met. >> with the retirement of the associate justice john paul stevens among serving of the supreme court members, president obama has the second chance to shape the court's direction. and he nominated sonia sotomayor last year and he said the juror will affect the daily lives of the american people. >> it will be someone who like justice stevens

. this is not the sort of stuff that will fly with most americans out there. 20% of america, maybe half the republican party, perhaps. but not most americans. this isn't going to get job done in 2012 that's for sure. >> ron, i think once you investigate it for anti-americanism i think that you might be on her list. here's michele bachmann critiquing president obama today on his nuclear policy. i'm confounded about why she's upset by this nuclear policy, since ronald reagan was one of the great ideologist about getting rid of nuclear weapons in this war. let's listen to michele bachmann. >> we found out that the president said that he was going to change the united states' strategy on dealing with nuclear weaponry. did this shock anyone? so if, in fact, there is a nation who is compliant with all the rules ahead of time and they've complied with the united nations on nuclear proliferation, if they fire against the united states a biological weapon, a chemical weapon, or maybe a cyber attack, then we're not going to be firing back with nuclear weapons. >> i don't get that. i guess i'm waiting for the ap

. >> no administration in america's history would ever have considered such a step we just found out president obama is supporting today. you know, that's kind of like getting out there on the playground, a bunch of kids ready to fight and one of the kids saying, go ahead, punch me in the face and i'm not going to retaliate. no. it's unacceptable. this is another thing that the american public, the more that they find out what is a part of it agenda, they're going to rise up and they're going to say no more. national defense, national security is the number one job of the federal government. >> that woman is an idiot. earlier on abc's "world news tonight," the president asked by george stephanopoulos to respond to sarah palin. >> i really have no response to that. last i checked, sarah palin's not much of an expert on nuclear issues. >> all right. he put it better than i did. let's turn to richard bert, former ambassador to germany, the u.s.'s first negative negotiator for the first s.t.a.r.t. treaty signed by the president bush in 1991. he is not u.s. chairman of global zero, an international non f

play is serving only to muddy the waters furnished in an effort to keep america safe. which is what we are all supposed to be about. i personally thought that the bush phrase global war on terror was way too veiling. early -- too vague. team obama made it less precise to overseas contingencies operations. i love that now they have changed the name again this time to countering violent extremism. or cve. when a nigerian tried to blow up a plane over detroit last december it was appropriate to call him violent extremist. fort hood homegrown violent extremist. how about that chech neon suicide bomber. what is the one common denominator with all these cases? are we even allowed to ask that question? and then the most important question of all, does retiring the phrase islamic radicalism actually help keep america safer? look, president obama is right about one thing, this is not a war that's going to be won by military might alone. we will need to use every tool at our disposal. president obama should do more to call on all peace-loving muslims to rise up against the ruthless radicals to i

in america... there's a home by the sea powered by the wind on the plains. there's a hospital where technology has a healing touch. there's a factory giving old industries new life. and there's a train that got a whole city moving again. somewhere in america, the toughest questions are answered every day. because somewhere in america, more than sixty thousand people spend every day answering them. siemens. answers. >> chris: joining us now one of the more controversial figures in politics these days, but a favorite among tea party conservatives. minnesota congresswoman michele bachmann who comes to us from saint paul. congressmanwoman, welcome to "fox news sunday." >> thank you, chris wallace. thank you so much. >> chris: back in the 2008 campaign you famously said that barack obama may have anti-american views and then you quickly expressed regret for those comments, but the other day, you took back your apology. i want to put it up on the screen. you said -- congresswoman, why the switch? and do you really believe the president of the united states has anti-american views? >> well

the first lawsuit is filed. america has to find the intestinal fortitude to address this issue, starting in washington, because this could be a slippery slope. arizona passes it, then there's going to be more states passing it. tell how this leads to a better understanding of the racists in this country. it simply does not. people have a short fuse fast if the wrong situation is put upon them. tell me what you think in our telephone survey tonight. the number to dial is 1-877-ed-mns. my question tonight is, what is more harmful to america? cops who racially profile? or illegal immigration? press the number 1 for cops who profile, press the number 2 for illegal immigration. we'll bring you the results later on in the show. >>> joining me now, reverend al sharpton, president of national action network. reverend, good to have you with us tonight. >> thank you, ed. >> is this a step backwards from what you see on the surface? >> absolutely it is. i think it is absolutely an attempt to legalize racial profiling. i mean, all one has to do is imagine if there was a lawyer in maine or vermont sa

in this story of america. what kind of african-american tourist would want to celebrate confederate history month, pat? is this just for white tourist? a push for tourism. >> the 175th anniversary. virginia was part of the old south confederacy. there's a lot of misinformation. virginia did not su seed over slavery. virginia stayed in the union at at the time of ft. sumpter. what took them out of the union when abraham lincoln said, we want 75,000 volunteers, your militia and your soldiers in the union to attack the deep south and bring them back to the union, they said we're not going to kill our kinsman. that's how virginia left the union. >> they refused to take sides against the union with the rebels? >> they refused to send their sons to kill their kinfolk. >> to bring back the union? >> kill their kinfolk. >> i think that's a technical point. virginia had slavery and believed in slavery and would have kept it had there not been a civil war. >> wait a minute. there were eight slave states in the union at the time of ft. sumpter and seven in the confederacy. >> gentlemen, that's not the

piece in the "washington post" today. how america became a secular socialist machine. >> i think that is what the country is. the country is still a center right majority. if you look at washington, you talked about that a second ago, with harry reid. the health bill wasn't the first time reid decided to be totally partisan. the stimulus was. the reason i call it a machine, if you can get $787 billion out of congress, with no elected official having read the bill, that's not representative democracy. that's a machine. it's like chicago. when you watch how reid operates, anytime he has a choice between being left wing machine boss or participated in government, he picks being the left wing machine boss. secular and socialist are the other two words. i wrote in this part in reaction to colleague of mine who seemed surprise we used the word. if you look at the judges that obama is nominating, they tend to be rigid, anti-religious secularists. if you look at obama's policies we currently own most of general motors and own most of chrysler. aig is deeply in debt to the government. the
